Abstract: In the framework of the nuclear safety aspect this work points out the possibility of applying the Monte-Carlo simulation method to design a spallation neutron source in the energy regime up to 2.5 GeV incident proton energy. A nuclear physics experiment carried out at the Jülich proton accelerator COSY provides the data to validate the commonly used program systems to calculate nuclear and safety relevant design parameters. The measurement of neutron multiplicity distributions allows a much more sensitive comparision between simulation and experiment, while former experiments have only measured the mean neutron multiplicity. The influence of several parameters in the codes was studied and optimized. The precision of the investigated codes is suited for the safety relevant design associated with neutron production caused by proton induced spallation reactions. Furthermore the importance of nuclear safety for accelerator driven systems will be discussed.
